Start at $1,299 and build it your way: 7 reasons gearheads choose the Recon
Want a fishing kayak you can upgrade over time, instead of paying for everything on day one? The Recon is a base to build on, with a fish finder, motor and more when you're ready.
“it moves the kayak about 4mph which is plenty for the way I fish.” — Orlando A., verified buyer

Sound familiar?
- Paying for a fully loaded kayak you'll customize anyway
- Upgrades that need a drill and a prayer
- Motor setups that mean a heavier boat and a trailer
There's a simpler way. Here's why it works.
Transducer recess, no drilling
Drop a compatible transducer into the built-in hull recess and route wiring through the scupper holes.
Bixpy motor, no drilling
The Bixpy electric motor attaches to designated mounting points and comes off cleanly. It charges via USB-C. Bundles are available.
Trolling motor options
A pedal-drive-recess mount fits motors with a 1 in shaft, and a 36 in side-mount bar is also available.
Rail tracks and rod holders included
Mount electronics, rod holders and cameras on the accessory rails.
Carry it in two pieces, not one awkward lift
Each solo model splits into two sections of roughly 32 to 42 lb, depending on the model. The Recon's are about 33 and 39 lb, so you never wrestle a whole kayak on your own.
It rides inside your car, not on the roof
Each section is about 4½ to 5½ ft long and fits the cargo area of most mid-size SUVs, minivans, hatchbacks and pickup beds. Customers have confirmed fits in a Honda Odyssey, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Edge. No roof rack, foam pads or tie-downs.
Covered, with parts you can actually buy
A 2-year hull and deck warranty (extendable to 3 years at checkout) and 1 year on the drive. Replacement drives, pedals, fins, hatches and seats are sold right here in the store.
What riggers say
“Works flawlessly with no issues and with a watersnake 18 it moves the kayak about 4mph which is plenty for the way I fish.”
